Trump did not do this by himself. He has been enabled by some 218 or so GOP Congressmen and a slim majority of GOP Senators.

Great point on whether your vote matters. Even though US ballots can be pages long, giving the impression that voters have a say in everything, the federal structure of two senators per state and the POTUS not elected by popular vote skews legislation to not represent what is in the public interest

If he was speaking he was lying.

As a neighbour of the USA, and often a visitor, I have a first hand understanding of the reluctance to use metric for day to day activities. As you note the sciences tend to use metric, it is my understanding that the US uses a different metric scale for blood glucose.

What would you expect from a country that still uses Fahrenheit, miles, feet and inches and gallons?

So very true! FIFA’s corruption is, IMO, perhaps only surpassed by the IOC. Still, I enjoy watching the sport, whatever it may be.

Where is Kegseth and his army of warriors? Can’t handle a few shore batteries and drone launchers? Guess they are still sleeping off all that steak and lobster/crab.

Yeah, but does he lie even when it’s not necessary and did he diddle little girls?

Make your opinion to someone who actually cares. Not a soccer fan but I do have family and friends who are, they are excited about welcoming the game and the fans from around the world. Understand about the hooligans, hopefully the twats from GB will play in US, they’ll fit right in.

Hey, the WC is a three nation tournament and neither Mexico nor Canada deserve to be punished for the actions of our crackhead neighbour. Boycott US games, but let Canada and Mexico welcome the world.

There’s a disconnect with reality as Iranian shore batteries continue to strike gulf shipping. Even drone boats are having some success. The US is looking rather pathetic in being able to neutralize Iran’s military capabilities.

Or shorten the lineup to vote? Can’t believe how much time a US citizen must devote to voting.

And in other news Peace Arch Hospital will close its maternity care due to lack of staff from today until March 18th. It’s great we are getting more facilities but there’s still a problem with staffing current facilities.

Check out About That on CBC with Andrew Chang. Covers various topics.

You would think so wouldn’t you. The two party system does create polar opposites.
In Canada we tend to have three major parties: NDP - left, Liberal - centre, Conservative- right. Liberals are the current government.

Hey, looks like you have found what he is really good at…..

No, we do not. The cost of a second vehicle is cost prohibitive considering we travel less than 7,000km annually and 1/2 that is towing. Insurance alone for a second vehicle is over 30 cents/km. Fuel savings would be less than 30 cents/km. Add capital cost and a second vehicle is not affordable.

Neither firearm advocates nor firearm control advocates are satisfied with data released by police.
The legal status of any firearm surely can be known and released quickly without compromising any element of the investigation.

Faux News has no street credibility, if the Dems are radical left then the current Republican “party” is so radical right you have a dictator. Moderates are looking for a place to call home and at the moment it appears to be the Dems.

Yep, still measuring safety by deaths per miles driven rather than by deaths per capita. But then, no surprise as the US is still one of the few countries using miles rather than kilometres. Resistance to change……

But they don’t have a navy, so how are they laying mines?

And there goes any chance of repeat…..

I don’t watch either the NBA or NHL regular season games - too many with often, not always, half hearted efforts. Must be tough to play so often. I do watch playoffs, the games are generally very good, including the first and second rounds where the best games result in close series.

You know what’s hard to understand? Think of the quality healthcare that Alberta could have with even a small, 3% or 4% provincial sales tax?

There’s the nub of the thing, no one like PP except the delegates at the CPC convention. Carney is pretty safe with his only real competition being the “never held a real job career politician”.

Are they? Add the equivalent of our universal healthcare to any average American worker’s income tax bill and I tink you will find Americans pay more.
I know it’s apples and oranges but still when compared fairly, American for profit medicine is costly vs single payer.

Lifestyle requires an ICE tow vehicle, so will have to just put up with the highway robbery.

Yep, Zionism at its finest

Why, the money is good and it’s relatively safe is it not?

Well that’s what you elected USA, good luck with your life.
